Title: Parallelism
Characters: Nathan Petrelli, Peter Petrelli (no pairings, no slash)
Rating: G
Warnings: None
Word count: 800
Setting: Preseason. Peter is in his late teens. Nathan is nearing thirty.
Summary: Peter is a defiant young man growing up under the heel of an authoritarian father who has a supernatural power (unknown to his sons) to compel obedience. Nathan tries to counsel Peter to take the easy way out, but Peter refuses.
Notes: Inspired by chapter 13, “Being Charismatic” of The Gentle Art of Verbal Self-Defense. And by means2bhuman saying I needed to work on Peter’s backstory, family interactions, and formative events that made him the man he is.
